My name is Tyler Goldberger, and I am a second-year doctoral student at the College of William and Mary interested in historical memory. Specifically, I explore the role of community archives and spaces in relation to narratives of United States nationalism following the Cold War and its short and long term effects in Latin America. I also research the role of monuments, memorials, and mausoleums in shifting the political and cultural landscapes of regions attempting to commemorate their pasts. 

I received my M.A. in History from the College of William and Mary (2020) with my thesis portfolio entitled “Memory as a Tool of Resignation/The Contested Nature of Constructing National Identity” and B.A. in History and Spanish from Duke University (2019), graduating Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude. I earned Highest Distinction for my undergraduate double honors thesis “Making Memory Matter: The Asociación para la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica and Spain’s Efforts to Reclaim the Past.” I am a recipient of the Walter J. Zable Graduate Fellowship and was awarded the Carl J. Strikwerda Award for Excellence at the 2020 William & Mary Graduate Research Symposium. 

I want to thank many individuals who helped to support this project, including Dr. Liz Losh and my peers in our Digital Humanities course, Rebecca Beasley, Anna Go, Matthew O'Boyle, and Sophie Polson.
